Notes- Scott Whipple has the first leg on a potential record and can back up the
new E.T. record with a 2.364 or quicker.
- Dennis Rieck was on an amazing pass in round one before he had to lift as he
was heading to the wall. Dennis 60 ft. time on that pass was a .922.
- Shane Switzer has had a great start to the weekend pair of 2.43s and a 2.45.
- Geoff Gill is having a great first outing in the brand new Gill Bettencourt
Motorsports TF entry. Geoff posted a great 2.47 in his round one match up with
Jeff Janoe.

Notes- Shane Sanford ran his first 2.4 second pass in qualifying and backed that
effort up with a 2.503 in round two of eliminations.
- Dan Allen made two great passes on Thursday. In the first round of
eliminations, Dan got out of shape and had to lift still managing Low E.T. of
the round by a tenth of a second. In the semi-final round, Dans car was
rolling through the beams putting him very deeply staged and still ran a 2.503
with a 1.03 60 time. This pass was easily a mid 2.4 on a normal pass.
- Gary Mink kept his championship hopes alive advancing to the final round
versus Sanford.
- The second round match up between Gary Mink and Dan Allen was a great battle
with both cars in the low 2.5 range. Where else in the country can you see TA
cars in the low 2.5 range side by side???

First day qualifying is complete at the NSDA Primm
Valley Resorts Fall Nationals. Low qualifiers heading into eliminations for
race one on the weekend are Scott Whipple (Top Fuel), Shane Sanford (Top
Alcohol), and Billy Morris (Top Eliminator). Take note that in TF/TA that late
entries can be added at the bottom of the qualifying order for eliminations
today, so things may look a little different when round one rolls off Thursday
afternoon. Stay tuned to NSDN for all the latest updates from Primm.Top
